The city has $1.3 million from the federal government, but Williams and other officials have been frustrated in trying to use it because of contradictory regulations. Williams said Community Program Development's expertise in navigating such federal regulations is the principal reason for considering hir; ing the company.

But the company's technical proposal it submitted to the city indicates it views its role as helping the city develop alternatives for use of flood-damaged property if city, officials launch a buyout program. damaged areas, including a proposal for buying flood-damaged property from owners willing to sell. A program for relocating property owners from flood-damaged areas and finding money to pay for such activities. A plan for coordinating any flood buyout program for the city. A proposal to manage the newly acquired redevelopment area on a short-term basis until a permanent supervisory mechanism is developed.

Allan T. Williams, the city administrator, said he and members of the city's planning staff had conducted a background review of the company before contacting it. Williams said the group also would assist the St. Louis County government in its efforts to help flood survivors and prepare a buyout program.

His family, which is Catholic, contacted the St. Louis Archdiocese to find farmers in need. The archdiocese, in turn, contacted Immaculate Conception Church in Old Monroe, which had some farmers in its parish who needed hay to feed their cows. On Thursday and Friday of last week, about 55 people from West Jefferson baled hay at Parsons' farm and loaded it onto five tractor-trailers. "It was a community effort," said Walker.

Even honor inmates from the nearby Orient Correctional Institute came to help, she said. The trucks arrived about 11 p.m. Saturday. After delivering the alfalfa wasting taxpayers' money." House warned of the prospects of politics getting in the way of a veto attempt. "The veto session traditionally has been the worst display of partisan politics that I have ever witnessed in the Legislature," he said.

"That's sad. What you see is that legislators who voted for a bill in April, in essence, vote against the same bill in to the six farms Sunday morning, the caravan returned to Ohio, where it arrived late Sunday night. Walker, who accompanied her brother and other family members to' Old Monroe, said the flood-relief effort "just gave everybody a really good feeling to be able to help out anyway we could. We were lucky that we had enough to share, and maybe someday we'll be in a position where they can help us." One farmer here to get the hay was Chris Burkemper, who milks about 150 cows. About 120 acres of his land was flooded.

He noted that the alfalfa was of excellent quality and would have sold for about $3 a bale. He said the alfalfa was much appreciated. September, or vice versa. They often do so just because they want to support the decision of the governor of their party. I think that's intellectually dishonest." Using the same terminology on separate occasions, Gross and House said that if a bill were good enough for the Legislature to pass in April, "it's a good bill in September." 1 From page one enrod Showboat parking lot.

The contract that council members will consider at their meeting at 7 p.m. also gives city officials the option to extend the contract with Community Program Development and use the company to help prepare: A development plan for flood- Ohio Farmer By Al Stamborski St Charles Post Bureau Chief Some dairy farmers in the Old Monroe area weren't able to "make hay while the sun shines" this year because of the rain and flooding. Their hay crop didn't amount to much, but a fellow farmer from Ohio came to their aid this past weekend by delivering 2,500 bales of fresh-cut alfalfa to six farm families here. This latest flood-relief effort was organized by Chip Parsons, who farms about 1,000 acres around West Jefferson, Ohio, just west of Columbus. His sister, Julie Walker, said Monday that her brother had an extra 75 acres of alfalfa that he wouldn't be needing this winter.

The review would be "of every dollar that they spend." The present system of appropriating money to departments "is an insult to tax-paying citizens," he said. "We ask department heads how much they got last year and how much more they want next year. The only thing that we really look at is the request for new appropriations." He says that government should learn from large corporations that are streamlining their operations and cutting out duplications. "That's our major problem in government," he said.
